Overview
This Image Transmission Software enables movies and still images to be transferred between the AV-HS410 and hostcomputer.
Two-way transmission is possible both from the AV-HS410 to host computer and from the host computer to the AV-HS410.

Specifications<File formats>

Still image files:	Bitmap format (bmp), JPEG format (jpg), TARGA format (tga), TIFF format (tif), GIF format (gif), PNG format (png)Still image files with running numbers:
TARGA format (tga)
The files are converted into movie files (AV-HS410 original format), and transferred.
Movie files:
AV-HS410 original format (clp)pp In order to run this software correctly, use a host computer which satisfies the conditions set forth in “Required computerenvironment” in <Basics>.

Connections
Connect the AV-HS410 and host computer using a LAN cable.
Connect the host computer to the LAN connector on the rear panel of the AV-HS410.
Either a straight LAN cable or crossover LAN cable can be used for the connection.
For network settings such as IP addresses, refer to “3-5. Network settings” in <Operations and Settings>.
Set the IP addresses of the host computer so that its network address is the same as that of the AV-HS410 and its hostaddress is different from that of the AV-HS410.
Set the subnet mask to the same address as that of the AV-HS410.

pp Numbers with “H” are in hexadecimal notation.
pp SD format images displayed on the host computer will have a different aspect ratio than images loaded in the video
memory. (They are longer vertically with the NTSC system.)
In order to reproduce these images faithfully, create the original image in the 720  540 size and, with the NTSC system,
use images which have been reduced to the 720  487 size.
With the PAL system, use images which have been enlarged to the 720  576 size.
